A BREVIARY OF SEISMIC TOMOGRAPHY
Imaging the Interior of the Earth and Sun
This is the first textbook to cover all the major aspects of seismic tomography
at a level accessible to students. While focusing on applications in solid earth
geophysics, the book also includes numerous excursions into helioseismology in
order to demonstrate the strong affinity between the two fields.
The book presents a comprehensive introduction to seismic tomography including
the basic theory of wave propagation, the ray and Born approximations
required for interpretation of amplitudes, travel times and phases, eigenvibrations
and surface waves, observational methods, model parametrization, finite-frequency
methods, inversion, error and resolution analysis, and seismic anisotropy. It presents
in-depth consideration of observational aspects of the subject, as well as practical
recommendations for implementing numerical models using publicly available
software.
Written by one of the leaders in the field, and containing numerous student
exercises, this textbook is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate
courses. It is also an invaluable guide for seismology research practitioners
in geophysics and astronomy. Solutions to the exercises, and a link to
the author’s tomographic software and user manual are available online from
